Our take on Casino

Martin Scorsese's 1995 crime drama sets two lifelong friends against each other in Las Vegas: a meticulous casino executive and a volatile Mafia enforcer, both circling the same gambling empire and the same fast-living socialite. From that triangle Scorsese builds a sprawling anatomy of how money, loyalty and appetite corrode a carefully run operation from within. The film favours dense narration, opulent surfaces and a slow accumulation of betrayals over conventional plotting. It suits viewers who admire immersive, epic-length crime storytelling and don't mind moral squalor rendered in lavish detail. Come for the world Scorsese constructs; stay for its methodical, unsentimental unravelling.
